Group for Language & Intelligence
Welcome to the Group for Language and Intelligence at Johns Hopkins University.
We study the computational foundations of language and cognition. Our research combines theory, machine learning, and behavioral experiments to advance the scientific understanding of cognitive systems — from humans to artificial intelligence.
